The female minor told police that on November 11, she and Longsworth had intercourse, with her consent. Now, any minor under the age of 16 cannot legally give consent for sex, and so, after investigating the child's complaint, Longsworth was arrested and charged with unlawful sexual intercourse.

He was arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, and due to the nature of the offence, the Magistrate could not take any plea from him. He did ask to address the court, and that's when he said that the minor is an obsessed young lady who has been telling lies to people that he is her boyfriend. Longsworth claims that the 12 year-old threatened her that if she cannot have him, then no one will. He also claims to have been suffering from a hernia at home during the time of this alleged sexual encounter.
